[Iraq] Explosions/Remote violence: Air/drone strike

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Turkish warplanes reportedly conducted airstrikes against PKK militants in the Gire Cudi area of Al Amadiya district, Duhok province, Iraq on April 1, 2025. Casualty figures remain unknown, and the medium severity classification suggests localized impact without broader escalation indicators.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether cross-border military operations expand beyond this localized incident.
